If you could help someone, if it cost you something, your time or energy; would you do it?
Today I want to introduce you to Sam, Sam is a human who is filled with an ability to help, be it his knowledge and skill as a creative, his athleticism and drive as an adventure athlete, or his practical and life saving skills as a doctor. But all that aside, Sam is one that has value beyond what any skill can offer…
Sam is one that sees another with a heart to step towards them, not in a rushed or unsure way, but with purposeful action and care. Sam is someone I am honored to call a friend and one I know you will understand why as you get to hear from him today
We chat about having a desire to help others and a fear of not living that out, about the impact of picking up a camera for the first time maybe later than others have, and what it’s like coming together with other creatives, how the collective holds more value than any one aspect
He shares some gentle and impactful advice; the reminder to listen to your mom, to be kid to each other, to take care of others, but most importantly why it matters to care for yourself. He shares what it’s like in Switzerland, an appreciation for the differences in culture and humanity, and the way contentment has shifted for him as life grows
Sam is one that I found to remind me what it is to see the day to day for what it is, and not more, the peace in a good workout, in accomplishing a goal, and in living life to the extent that you desire
So tune in and meet Sam, a human that challenges himself to see others in new ways, to care for those around him and learn from humanity and life itself, and to not lose sight of how “ok” it is that we get to grow
And to you Sam thank you, thank you for all the sweet ways you showed up throughout our trip, for the consistent yes when help was needed, for your ability to laugh with others, and even more so, to listen. This world is a better place with you in it and I’m better for knowing you and getting to call you a friend.
